work!

i like this job. i actually LIKE this job. as far as i can see, the only downside is the pay, and that's something i am lucky enough to be able to live with.

going to a job i like every day, that is already making a world of a difference. and i don't think it's some honeymoon period sheen. everyone else seems happy, too. they all eat lunch together in a circle. voluntarily. they're all friends, they're including me even though they've all been working together for months or years, they're encouraging. they're doing work that's actually important and inspiring and uplifting and they're passionate about it. i didn't think work could be like this and i keep waiting to see the facade fall away.

i just feel really lucky, for the first time in a long time.
